Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

    Is that tracking distributed across stores or do I have license to steal $9999 from each one?

      Probably the amount stolen within the same state. But once you’re committing crimes across state lines, you’ve got bigger problems on your hands.

      And yes, they definitely share data across their whole company.

        But once you’re committing crimes across state lines, you’ve got bigger problems on your hands.

        What’s the situation here? Is a crime committed in a state in which you are not a resident punished more harshly? Or is it commiting more than one crime in more than one state that’s the problem? Do the crimes have to be connected somehow?
